good advice. i went after it on one seat. a lot of brushing.... It looks 50% better so far.

Here an image. on the left by finger is what i am talking about. looks dirty all over. I sprayed small section on right with a cleaning product. it looks better or will until it drys.

My seats are not torn or ripped and not brittle or breaking. However, they look like the have dirt all over them. When they are wet with product they look fabulous. When they dry they go back to the dirty/faded look. Anybody have a good product they use on seat to refresh them?

thanks ya'll. The bolt that came with the kit has a 1" spacer built in to it. That might be enough to do the deed.

Would this be correct? I dont have my trim on so i am not sure if something else is supposed to go in this hole or not....the bolt does fit though.

I am just now installing these i bought a while back. the instructions they came with are junk. I was able to determine where everything goes but i ahve 2 concerns. 1. The retraction box goes behind the seat and through the floor pan. Isnt this a pretty weak spot. Did anyone reinfroce it? My pans are in great shape too and it still seems weak. 2. In image 1 you see the bolt that attaches somewhere up in the area of image 2. Normally i would put a nut on something like this....not sure if that is even possile. Has anyone else upgraded and solved these issues? thanks!

was just looking at the pilot bushing that came with the Fidenza package. Havent got the motor back yet but does it look small to anyone else.

ok. thanks. i will wait until i get it all back in the car. For me it seems easier to put motor on tranny outside car and put if back in than try to align motor with tranny already installed....maybe i am not doing it properly though

just got my 4 quarts of redline in. Went to loose the input nut and then took out the drain plug.....there was no oil in the tranny. So here is another stupid question. If trans is separated from the engine with the fluid leak out? Should i wait until i get the 2 re-coupled before i put new trans fluid it?

finally got some good shim in. I put a tight piece in and got it set then slowly drilled a hole through where the bolt goes. Seems to have worked. thanks

thoughts on valve cover. i am trying to keep car as OEM as possible but really like the powdercoated and chrome covers. Looking for opinions?

Huh. i'll be darned. thanks, went ahead and ordered it.

came in today. whats best way to get this rubber out to replace? i tried with flathead and it kept breaking off. Also tried needlenose's they didnt seem to help either.

well i feel stupid now. I didnt realize that. All images i was looking at seemed to have bottom of floor pans and everything black

i have some good stock images of the undercarriage but can someone confirm the color type they use. It looks to me like a gloss black but i could be wrong

thanks. Got it ordered. should i put grease in everything around the sleeve and fork. Also this might be a good time to drain all the tranny fluids? Anybody used seafoam? been hearing thats good to use but what i saw said automatic transmission on bottle...i have a standard

i tried to find it on zcardepot. do you know what exactly its called? they have some called front seals, rear seals .....

roger that. got the bearing and sleeve all off and on no issues. It was quite simple. THe seal or bearing on the other end though by shifter....should i replace it? is it easy to? whats it called?

here is the package https://www.ebay.com/itm/324528069103?fits=Make%3ADatsun&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&hash=item4b8f6159ef:g:XUkAAOSwNJ5Zfp9G&amdata=enc%3AAQAFAAACwBaobrjLl8XobRIiIML1V4Imu%2Fn%2BzU5L90Z278x5ickk5v8gVt3hEWLVg%2F253w6XCQMvAJfq2JiGyb0i0lc9YJpUTDAr5BnIOLesbBYyfNjX2642uJ4Tnh6rVEoXglJ2T39wLKGcvvvfutk%2FkL8qQJdAkR3ZINmgWuf6AvtI351wmtYk6g7HX9QpGmGlB4b0OukRzscS0vJ4gO7s4gEDL1erD94WL90iCn4TGC3ukFhvbcdK%2BtqeQTTtrU9OODyxEteBSC0ASgyf5u6nFcbdCAb3vc1O0t3nl962RzREOdPzNvbeT5WyIXQjxSiCo3DCCTfQLeBqhjD7MPzhVW0DuQgb96drWxGYF4hm3LpIkBdfclCRwF9sig3u%2B9Dnm5FA0FX%2BjI5AzNr8TxQbaoWbnvnqycU9SbFYg4GtvsKZLe9lmXz4IQac1zGJZAkaXtHt7euLC%2FPrHZZcT4wYFbEXdlFxb%2BbtuOIFMvF2XhkRujXDg9zMQnOH5HUt3Y01zLTXtt5VUMS7nezslszpV2AHFr%2BjIBsUfvGNA5PKJ2oiPM89VQVsgSLrzgXRBG6a%2BrNfI5COGPmyNOi7lCaMvz0VQmImQZCjd77gwR09wzEgHfRo%2BABS94DysuvUdXzapQ9OpEAVLn2Lo%2BCoSJXKsXHxopmyiEDoRd1oUnrbjtslk076fWS7GlP0sKHlyOLvYxfyg0u1ptVkggxO2NjgfGKp3eBGBp%2F6EgWQxnlXmMM%2B0RQRiIfuRrlQKrUs0tNm%2BOtDdPm0uZKg46EXUB6JV6BPr4dd%2FilA6ElZJHeUSs%2Fef1GMjr9qO2vWc55Ky0x83IcUupz%2BGV0ImHk9zP5eGWo2u13RmRvAwI4KrFed5pNZf7M3Vq%2FyQHsDmCJ%2BLcXxvSx0VrNOkFPexIooZhAkyqWAoxdpsUiPtrmthkaxDNlKsa56|cksum%3A32452806910333f38dc307e44b53938d38020f0444df|ampid%3APL_CLK|clp%3A2334524 and here is the sleeve i bought https://zcardepot.com/products/clutch-throwout-release-bearing-sleeve-oem-240z-260z?_pos=10&_sid=6d7b4c52d&_ss=r

is this what you are referring to? they fit pretty good. there was some glue included i assume once you figure out which holes to use you permanently afix the dowels. wonder why it says to get acetone and remove the green? thanks

All. sorry for the long absence. I just got my car back from the painter and my engine should be back in the next 1-2 weeks from the machine shop. In meantime i have my transmission and the exedy kit. Aside from the bearing do i need to wait on the engine to start replacing things. The bearing looks good and moves great...i am reluctant to replace it as i will likely mess it up

thats a lot of money.. how will this new upgraded flywheel and clutch affect the car? i assumed improved performance somehow or is it longer lifespan?

will do. going to machine shop tomorrow will take the flywheel too. thanks

decided to just rebuild my engine. have a machine shop guy i know who is helping me out for decent price. I took engine and tranny apart. I am wondering if i should buy a clutch kit. Nothing looks bad to me but i dont really know what to look for either.. any thoughts. is it worth 200bucks to do?

Thanks. this is the same place that sells on ebay, in Vietnam. So i dont think that is chrome, just very polished. If you look at images and video, the ebay ad has exact same images. Buying straight from them must be cheaper than ebay though. On ebay they cost $880. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-240Z-bumper-with-rubber-with-over-rider/274698161323
